NEW YORK, NY —Deep Foundation, a hip hop group in the Filipino-American community, launches a new EP entitled, “Generation Ill”. Mug Shot, ILL Poe, and CeeJay have worked hard to put this compilation together sharing their outlooks, stories and individual perspectives.

“Generation ILL” is the latest collaborative effort between hip-hop group Deep Foundation, emcee Hydroponikz, and production crew Generation ILL. The EP is a snapshot of today’s world, the events that occur within it and the experiences of the people involved. This 10-track offering features collaborations with singer-songwriter Melissa Polinar, UK Beatbox Champion MC Zani, and West Coast emcees Bambu and Rocky Rivera. The EP also includes three bonus cuts: two tracks from Deep Foundation’s debut album “The First Draft” remixed by Generation ILL and a previously unreleased track by Deep Foundation from earlier in their career.

DF’s boom-bap-era-influenced brand of Hip-Hop incorporates reflective narratives of their upbringings & daily struggles. “The First Draft” presents 16 songs, each retelling their shared Filipino culture, set to the music of East coast hip-hop.
